Patronized by: Isabella d' Este (1474-1539).
Correggio, or COREGGI0, the name ordinarily given to Antonio
Allegri (1494-1534), the celebrated Italian painter, one of the most
vivid and impulsive inventors in expression and pose and the most
consummate executants. The external circumstances of Correggio’s life
have been very diversely stated by different writers, and the whole of
what has been narrated regarding him, even waiving the question of its
authenticity, is but meagre.
A large number of books have been written concerning Correggio. The
principal modern authority is Conrado Ricci, Life and Times of
Correggio
(1896); see also Pungileoni, Memorie storiche di Antonio Allegri (1817);
Julius Meyer, Antonio Allegri (1870, English translation, 1876); H.
Thode, Correggio (1898); Bigi, Vita ed opere (1881); Colnaghi,
Correggio
Frescoes at Parma (5845); Fagan, Works of Correggio (1873); and T.
Sturge Moore, Correggio (1906) (a work which includes some adverse
Criticism on the views of Bernard Berenson, in Correggio’s Study of
Italian Art, 1901, and elsewhere). - (W. M. R.)
